The Glenn Gould School of The Royal Conservatory of Music is an independent non-profit institution. Any level of government does not subsidize tuition fees. However, there is generous support from private individuals and foundations. Applicants are automatically considered for all awards following their audition. The amount of funding depends on the available scholarship funding and the number of students enrolled. Additional funding is available for exceptional students on a limited basis. Awards are allocated to reduce tuition, based on audition results. A limited number of full tuition scholarships are available.
